The rest of X-men stayed out of our way as we finished loading up the girls it was a tight fit but none of them wanted to ride with the X-men. The ship was filled beyond the brim but easily took off leaving the destroyed lab facility behind. I was certain that Wolverine could smell the death in the air and it was only a matter of time before the rest of X-men knew what happened. They wouldn't be able to get the full picture as Cortona erased all the the information she could reach unless there was something that survived the fire.

I flew back to my mansion dropping off all girls there as I wanted home field advantage. I had Cortona order plenty of food for the girls before calling up Emma. I wanted to be able to see the sheer number of daughters that she now had. I had M'Shen attempt to keep them busy training them to use their abilities while Selina and Felicia attempted to make Laura more girly.

I underestimated those blondes as the used their hive mind to quickly adapt and begin flirting with me. I will admit that it is tempting but I still had to had to contact their mother which they seemed somewhat against. I don't think that it stemmed from any dislike or hatred but from fear of possible rejection. As long as it remained an idea there was a possibility that she might except them but if they confronted reality and were rejected they didn't know how to handle it.

"Girls I understand what you are trying to do but know that you will not face this alone. I will be with you no matter what the outcome may be and if you want my home will always be your home"

The girls say nothing but just hug me for a moment and let me finally make the call.

Emma: Julian? I didn't think that you would call me so soon. I still have a lot to handle in regards to the Hell fire club and I don't know when I will be available but I will try...

"Emma it's important, especially to you that you come to my mansion immediately everything else can wait as I don't think this can"

Emma: I'll be right there as soon as I can but I swear this better be important because I don't think your cute smile will be enough if it isn't

....

Emma arrived shortly after our call apparently she was still in Gotham reorganizing the white faction. Things were moving smoothly but were still unfinished and she wanted to cement her control before people started making moves against her and Julian. Carmine Falcone family's eagerly acted as Emma's arms and legs to facilitate the regime change in order to receive recognition. The Falcone family was closely associated with Edward Buckman and needed to gain favor of the power in control of the faction.

As Emma stepped out of her limousine as elegant as ever with clear intent to make every effort to be flirtatious she paused as she saw me waiting outside. My face was stern as I needed to convey how important this moment is. Her pause was brief and if I hadn't known her I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Emma: Judging by your face this must be very important as you refused to speak of it over the phone and had me come all the way over here. Well Iets not waste time and face whatever it is head on then.

As we entered she easily noticed the blondes milling about some were snacking in the kitchen, other looking for clothes online, some watching TV. Although they did their best to not make it obvious they were all watching Emma Frost. It was readily apparent to Emma as to why as it clearly had something to do with blondes in my home. We sat down in the spot in the living room that blondes clearly left unoccupied for the two of us. Emma for her part remained calm not jumping to conclusions but was definitely eager to know what this was about although the evidence was all around she wanted exact details.

"I am certain by now that you have an inkling as to why I called you here and I think you might suspect what that reason is..."

Emma: Julian just say it I am in no mood for riddles

"Emma each one of these lovely young blonde ladies are your daughters"

Instead of immediately reacting she closed her self off and became completely unreasonable without turning into her diamond form. She sat in silence for a long while as I awaited her response.

Emma: How is this possible

"Edward Buckman and John Sublime's handy-work in one of your previous fights against another meta you became unconscious. Then during that time...

I proceeded to go into detail of the events that followed until this point.

"...then I immediately called you"
